[One-on-one, both leads pure + sweet romance + wealthy CEO + entertainment industry + satisfying read]
Lin Chuyuan transmigrates into a book.
She becomes the ill-fated heroine with the same name, who catches her boyfriend Ren Jianming, a washed-up minor celebrity, in bed with someone else.
To get revenge on the scumbag and tear apart the white lotus, Lin Chuyuan declares she'll join a dating show. The good-for-nothing heroine becomes the show's most popular contestant overnight.
But her goofy side is exposed, and her aloof, icy beauty image collapses before it even gets off the ground.

Lin Chuyuan: I usually read A Brief History of Time.
Netizens: Pass it on: Lin Chuyuan usually picks up poop whenever she has time!
Lin Chuyuan: I'm hungry. I want a snack.
Then she pulls a plain steamed bun out of her LV bag.
Netizens: Who would've thought there'd be a steamed bun in an LV bag!

A mysterious new male contestant, the fourth man, makes his entrance. To everyone's utter shock, he's Ji Sili, the CEO of the entertainment group filming the dating show.
Usually so dignified and self-possessed, with a mysterious string of Buddhist prayer beads on his wrist, he's cool and seemingly desireless. Why would he come on a dating show?!
Lin Chuyuan: What are you doing here?
Ji Sili: It's just for the ratings.
(Inner thoughts: I'm jealous, and there's no soothing me.)
When word gets out that the CEO and Lin Chuyuan only paired up for the show because of a contract, their shippers feel betrayed, and the haters and paid trolls pile on.
Ji Sili: We did sign a contract. But... it was a post-marriage contract.
Lin Chuyuan: ?!

She punches the scumbag and the scheming woman, kicks her wicked stepmother, exposes the fake first love, and holds her wife-devoted, scheming, jealous CEO in her arms.
Lin Chuyuan: This time, I'll take back everything that belongs to me!
